Section 1 - Preparation material

Use full-length room descriptions.

when play begins: say "You just arrived at your uncle's house. A small cottage in the middle of an English nowhere. You were for the past hour in a cab that has left you here, with a big hole in your wallet. Your luggage has been lost at the airport and you are left only with your umbrella... 


        This holiday has not started as expected. 


         And now this. The house seems abandoned since years! The garden is so unruly it is difficult to walk here. Bushes and trees are covering the entire surface. Different smells fill the air making difficult to understand their origin.".

The player is carrying an umbrella. [The umbrella is openable.]
The player is wearing shoes. "Your shoes are all covered in mud unfortunately.".
The player is wearing a jacket.


Section 2 - The arrival

The Garden is a room. "The garden is like a jungle. Mud, old pots and dying plants are all around you. On the east you can see your old uncle's house.".



[Door]
The old wooden door is east of the Garden and west of the Entrance. The wooden door is a door. The wooden door is locked.  "The door seems made of massive wood, heavy and sturdy. An old style door. The keyhole is also very impressive, is rather big. The matching key must also be quite striking!".

The keyhole is scenery in the Garden. "It is a rather adorned keyhole, made of metal and it appears to have been used recently, altough the house seems abandonded."

Instead of taking the keyhole: say "Unless you take the entire door apart, I think it will be rather difficult...".
Instead of looking in the keyhole: say "bla.".
[End of Door]



The jungle is scenery in the Garden. "Using the word jungle was just a comparison...".
The mud is scenery in the Garden. "It must have rained a lot in the last days. The mud is everywhere, and unfortunately now all over your new shoes.".
The pots are scenery and in the Garden. "Well they all look the same mostly. Old, dirty, but one catches your eye. Is somehow in better shape than the others and seems empty."
The cleaner pot is scenery and a container and in the Garden. The broken pot is a container. "The pot seems a bit cleaner than the rest, like it was used for something other than for growing plants. You could easily hide something inside!".

Instead of looking in the cleaner pot: say "Ah.".

The brass key is in the cleaner pot. It unlocks the wooden door.

The Entrance is east of the wooden door. "The entrance".
